Comments on Vocabularies in the VO 2.0

[Accomazzi, Alberto]

Dear Markus & Semantics WG:

After finally giving the document a good read and discussing the topic with
other colleagues involved with the development of the Unified Astronomy
Thesaurus (UAT), I wanted to bring up some questions about the envisioned
role of existing knowledge systems such as the UAT in the proposed
standard.  In particular:

* Given that the UAT exists and is being used as a source for concepts
describing the literature and IVOA registry resources, how does the IVOA
community see its role, if any, in the new vocabulary specification?
* Do you see the UAT as a source of vocabulary for the IVOA to be somehow
incorporated in the proposed framework, or is it to be used as an external
resource?
* If there is going to be an "IVOA UAT version," what would be the process
to coordinate this vocabulary with the further development of the UAT?

Thanks,
Alberto
